Anti-inflammatory activities of septicine, a natural alkaloid product present in the leaves and stems of Tylophora ovata, were evaluated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine macrophages, RAW264.7 cells. Treatment with septicine inhibited LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO), inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 production in a concentration-dependant manner. In addition, septicine suppressed the expression of inducible NO synthase. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activities of septicine might be attributed to the inhibition of NO, iNOS and cytokine expression.
